5-4 Coordinate Geometry
In computer graphics, a coordinate system is
used to create images, from simple geometric
figures to realistic figures used in movies.
Properties of the coordinate plane can be used
to find information about figures in the plane,
such as whether lines in the plane are parallel.

Additional Example 1A: Using Coordinates to
Classify Quadrilaterals
Graph the polygons with the given vertices. Give
the most specific name for the polygon.
A(0, –2), B(3, 3), C(3, –2)
Step 1: Classify the
polygon by its angles.
C is a right angle, so
triangle ACB is a right
triangle.

Additional Example 1A Continued
Step 2: Classify the triangle by its sides.
Find the length of each side.
AC = |3 – 0| = 3
BC = |–2 – 3| = 5
The triangle has no congruent sides, so it is
scalene. Triangle ACB is a right scalene triangle.

Additional Example 1B: Using Coordinates to
Classify Quadrilaterals
Graph the polygons with the given vertices. Give
the most specific name for the polygon.
L(2, 1), M(5, 1), N(5, –1), P(2, –1)
Examine the sides of the quadrilateral.
LM and PN are parallel.
LP and MN are parallel.
The quadrilateral is a rectangle
because it has two sets of parallel
sides and the sets of parallel sides
are different lengths.

Check It Out: Example 1
Graph the polygons with the given vertices. Give
the most specific name for the polygon.
Q(–2, 3), R(1, 5), S(1, –2), T(–2, –4)
Examine the sides of the quadrilateral.
QT and RS are parallel.
QR and TS are parallel.
The quadrilateral is a
parallelogram because it has two
sets of parallel sides and the
sets of parallel sides do not form
90 angles.

Additional Example 2A: Finding the Coordinates
of a Missing Vertex
Find the coordinates of each missing vertex.
Triangle ABC has a right angle at C and AC = 2.
Find one set of possible coordinates for A.
Since BC is horizontal,
AC must be vertical
for the triangle to
have a right angle at
C.
(4, 0) or (4, –4)

Additional Example 2B: Finding the Coordinates
of a Missing Vertex
Find the coordinates of each missing vertex.
Quadrilateral LMNP is a parallelogram. Find the
coordinates of N.
MN must be vertical
and the same length
as LP.

Check It Out: Example 2
Find the coordinates of each missing vertex.
Triangle ABC has a right angle at B and AB = 3.
Find one set of possible coordinates for A.
Since BC is horizontal,
AB must be vertical
for the triangle to
have a right angle at
B.
(1, 1) or (1, –5)

The midpoint of a segment is the point that divides
the segment into two congruent segments.
